Chapter 532: The Barrier of Benevolence

As the Root Chakra and Navel Chakra were lit up one after another, and the energy in the Sacral Chakra was restored to its peak, the three echoed each other, and a preliminary energy cycle was quietly formed in Hua Changxi's body.

Hua Changxi's confidence soared, and she tried to guide the blood and energy to rush to the Heart Chakra.

However, things went against her wishes; no matter how she guided and rushed, it was difficult to light up the Heart Chakra.

Unable to do so, Hua Changxi had to end her practice, while looking inside at the seven chakras in her body, while carefully studying the eighth chapter of the 'Nine-Turn Profound Art'.

Root Chakra, anchor of the earth, foundation of the Dao; Sacral Chakra, source of power, rule of strength; Navel Chakra, source of life, law of life; Heart Chakra, source of benevolence, constancy of heart; Throat Chakra, source of speech, faith of words; Brow Chakra, source of insight, clarity of observation; Crown Chakra, crown of heaven, capacity of heaven.

After summarizing and refining, Hua Changxi concluded—even if it is body refining, it eventually has to be implemented in self-cultivation and heart-cultivation.

It's just the Heart Chakra...

"Source of benevolence?"

Forget it, body refining also requires people to be philanthropic.

Hua Changxi was speechless, helpless, and a bit helpless.

At this moment, her cultivation path seemed to be blocked.

Whether it was spiritual cultivation or body refining, it was stuck at the so-called 'Barrier of Benevolence'.

Unable to continue practicing, Hua Changxi left the Zhurong Tomb with a heavy heart.

As soon as she came out of the Zhurong Tomb, her brows, which were not stretched, directly condensed into a knot.

It's here again!

The crisis of a sword hanging over her head struck her heart again, and this time, the feeling was even more intense than before she went down to the Nine Netherworlds.

"What exactly is going on?"

Hua Changxi's mood was solemn, she drove the Somersault Cloud, flew to high altitude, and while patrolling, carefully felt the crisis lingering in her heart.

When passing through various blessed lands, the crisis decreased.

But, when passing through the county seat of Nanxiang County, the crisis reached its peak, actually making her feel a bit of palpitation.

Could it be that there is some great crisis hidden in the county seat of Nanxiang County?

Thinking this, Hua Changxi landed quietly and stepped into the county seat of Nanxiang County like an ordinary cultivator.

As soon as she entered the city, the tight string relaxed.

In the county seat, the people were stable, and it was a scene of peace.

Pedestrians on the street walked calmly.

The shouting of street shops came one after another, revealing vitality.

Every once in a while, you could see the Zhu Que Army wearing crimson armor patrolling along the street.

The passing pedestrians just moved aside as usual, and the look in their eyes was not fear, but heartfelt respect and trust.

And cultivators with spiritual power also mixed in the crowd, passing by ordinary people without any sense of being an alien.

Wherever Hua Changxi's eyes reached, they were fresh and satisfied faces.

In Nanxiang County, cultivators were not high-and-mighty existences, and the iron armor of the Zhu Que Army was no longer a symbol of coldness. They together constituted the texture of this county seat, leaving a harmonious picture of strict military discipline and people sleeping peacefully.

Looking at this vibrant scene of the market, Hua Changxi raised her evaluation of Song Weimin to a higher level.

Afterwards, she felt the thick human fireworks in the city while releasing her divine sense, and carefully explored every area in the county seat.

Found nothing unusual!

"Where does the crisis come from?"

Hua Changxi frowned, came to the county government office in the center of the city, and sneaked into Song Weimin's office without alarming anyone.

She wanted to talk to Song Weimin.

Song Weimin, as the magistrate of Nanxiang County, was in charge of the people's livelihood, and perhaps he could discover some things she couldn't notice.

Song Weimin and the subordinate officials of the county government discussed the development of Nanxiang County for half a day, and holding a thick stack of documents gathered by everyone, he walked back to his office in a hurry.

Pushing open the door, a rich spiritual tea aura rushed towards him.

Song Weimin looked up subconsciously, only to see a figure appearing silently in the room.

"Ah~"

A short exclamation escaped his lips, Song Weimin stepped back half a step in fright, and after he saw the face of the visitor clearly, his tight nerves relaxed abruptly, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

He hurriedly stepped forward, bowed in salute, his tone carrying a bit of helplessness and familiarity: "Hall Master, why are you here? So silently, you gave me a big fright. Just right, I was just about to go find you."

Hua Changxi did not say much, just raised her plain hand slightly, her fingertips flashing with spiritual light.

"Buzz~"

An invisible wave spread instantly, instantly enveloping the entire room, isolating the inside and outside completely.

After setting up the isolation array, Hua Changxi put down her teacup and looked at Song Weimin: "You have something to find me for?"

Song Weimin nodded, and under Hua Changxi's signal, walked to the opposite side of her and sat down: "I want to talk to you about the development of Nanxiang County."

Hua Changxi looked at him: "I have already handed over the development of people's livelihood to you completely. As long as it is beneficial to the people and beneficial to Nanxiang County, you can go ahead and do it."

Seeing Hua Changxi trust him so much, Song Weimin's expression lifted, and he smiled: "Thank you for your trust, Hall Master. However, the implementation of some things requires your nod and support."

Hua Changxi: "You say it, I'm listening."

Song Weimin looked at her with burning eyes, not hiding his ambition: "This subordinate wants Nanxiang County to further develop and grow."

Hua Changxi raised an eyebrow: "How to further develop and grow?"

Song Weimin: "The development of a place lies not only in how big the territory is, but also in how many people remain on the territory."

"This subordinate wants to introduce some policies to attract more cultivators to settle in Nanxiang County."

"Cultivators have families, and not everyone can practice. In this way, as cultivators settle down, ordinary people will also increase."

Hua Changxi's eyes flickered: "What policies do you want to implement?"

Song Weimin looked at Hua Changxi, took a deep breath and said: "Vigorously build market towns, and open blessed lands to ordinary cultivators."

Hua Changxi heard this and did not give a response immediately.

Seeing that she did not commit, Song Weimin was afraid that she would not agree, so he hurriedly stepped forward, his words sincere and added:

"Hall Master, now it is rumored in the cultivator circle that Nanxiang County is the old site of Nanxiang City. And Nanxiang City, in ancient times, was one of the top ten top forces in the Central Continent."

"With the deepening of the recovery of spiritual energy, an era of ten thousand immortals rising together has arrived. At that time, measuring whether a city is prosperous, the quantity and quality of cultivators will definitely be the primary standard of measurement."

"Looking at the present, forces from all sides of the Central Continent are springing up like bamboo shoots after rain, but when it comes to widespread fame and immense prestige, who can compare to the Zhu Que Army led by the Hall Master?"

"Now forces from all sides are competing for the world, and the core game among them is the recruitment and absorption of cultivators in the world."

Speaking of this, Song Weimin's voice carried a trace of excitement and expectation:

"With the Zhu Que Army sitting in town to protect, Nanxiang County is a pure land in this chaotic world, and it will definitely be stable, peaceful, and live and work in peace!"

"Under such prestige, if we can take advantage of the trend to recruit cultivators from all sides, not only can we strengthen Nanxiang, but we can also protect a batch of people in the turmoil."

He paused, looked at Hua Changxi with burning eyes, and continued to analyze: "Whether Nanxiang County is willing or not, it will inevitably be involved in the competition for the world in the future. Seizing the opportunity is absolutely beneficial and harmless."

Hua Changxi looked at Song Weimin: "Have you ever thought about what to do if people are attracted but cannot be protected?"

Song Weimin was stunned: "With the Zhu Que Army here, why worry about not being able to protect the people?"

Hua Changxi asked back: "After you returned to Nanxiang, have you perceived anything unusual?"

Song Weimin shook his head: "No. What does the Hall Master mean by unusual?"

Hua Changxi needed someone to discuss with, so she didn't hide it: "I always feel that Nanxiang County is shrouded in an ominous aura."

Song Weimin frowned: "That shouldn't be. Nowadays, Nanxiang County is developing smoothly, the people are living and working in peace, there is no war, and there is no morning-to-evening insecurity, where does the ominous come from?"

Hua Changxi shook her head: "It's just a feeling, a very strong sense of crisis."

Song Weimin looked at Hua Changxi: "This subordinate wants to ask, is the Hall Master about to advance?"

Hua Changxi said 'Hmm?'.

Song Weimin immediately said: "Every time this subordinate is about to advance and break through, I will perceive a sense of crisis..." Perhaps, the sense of crisis you perceive is not from Nanxiang County, but from the test of heavenly tribulation when advancing.

Hua Changxi understood Song Weimin's meaning, but denied it after a little thought.

With the appearance of white sparks, the barrier to breaking through the Spirit Platform Realm was indeed loosened.

However, if what she perceived was really the threat of heavenly tribulation to be faced when breaking through the realm, it should not be limited by region.

The current sense of crisis only exists within the scope of Nanxiang County.

Song Weimin looked at Hua Changxi's expression and pulled the topic back: "This subordinate knows that the Hall Master has a heavy responsibility, and it is inevitable to consider it long-term."

"However, attracting cultivators and their families to settle in Nanxiang County is not something we force, but giving them one more choice in the chaotic world."

"They chose to come, even if there is any turmoil in Nanxiang County in the future, that is their own choice."

"Nowadays, where else is more suitable for people to settle than Nanxiang County?" ===== CHAPTER 533 =====
